This is a good time of year to collect the mail because I got a litttle card in the post box again today.

Two more parcels!! Lots of cards and the usual junk mail.

Received a BIG parcel from my friend Nicky. I was very spoilt as she has made me a lovely wall hanging, some homemade jam, serviettes and a little Xmas box tied with a bow which I have put under the tree.

The second LITTLE parcel was also very special as it was my "INCHIE" swap from the Netherlands. I love it and have hang it in my tree. The card Francoise send along with it has a gorgeous Quilt on the front.

We had a wonderful time at the Red Hatters Lunch. Joyce is the joker of the group and always willing to keep us laughing. Today she arrived with her hat wrapped in tinsel,baubles hanging of her ears and lots of bling.

The Crimson Butterflies from Geralton joined us and after a BIT of chatting we had a lovely meal.

Because we had all been such good girls this year Santa and his little elf arrived to hand out gifts to all of us.

Of course he had to wear his purple suit for this occasion!!Louise must have been extra good as she got a BIG kiss from Santa

After a rather busy week I have managed to finish two projects that are going OUT of the house. I am very pleased with my little Xmas wall hanging that was a freebie from the Gum Tree Designers. Also my tote bag which I have made as my Xmas gift for my Red Hatters Xmas lunch on Saturday.

When I went to check my mail this morning I was delighted to have a little card in my box which means I had something to collect from inside the post office. The lady handed me not one BUT two parcels. My absolutely gorgeous ornament/handmade card swap from Lynda.

Also the giveaway I won from Heidi for joining in her "Friday Night Sewing Night"

Well I can't say I achieved what I wanted. Had the machine all set up with my cruise control unit so I could finish quilting a mystery quilt I
started last year. Wanted to do a wavey line across the quilt but it went pear shape and now I need to do some reverse sewing.

Then I decided to make a calender holder I saw on Julia's Place .Was going to start it this afternoon BUT!!!

This is waht I have done so far. Still have a lot of stitching to do before it is finished. Hope to have it in the mail next week.
